1844-1908
Born into a land-owning family, Rimsky-Korsakov spent his childhood in the country amongst the folk music of Russia which was to have such a strong influence on him. He began his career as a naval officer but, on the strength of his early works, some of which were written at sea, he was offered the post of Professor of Composition at the St Peters-burg Conservatory in 1871. It was after taking up this post that he acquired his brilliant command of orchestral technique and produced the 15 operas which form the major part of his output.

The World of C. P. Cavafy (Alexandria 1863-1933)
A feature by COLIN NEARS with David March as Cavafy
' A Greek gentleman in a straw hat, standing absolutely motionless, at a slight angle to the universe.' (E. u. FORSTER) ' The erotic world he depicts is one of casual pick-ups and short-lived affairs ... But he refuses to pretend that his memories of moments of sensual pleasure are unhappy or spoiled by feelings of guilt ... As a witness, he is exceptionally honest.' (W. B. AUDEN ) ' Cavafy is one of the last flowers of a dying civilisation — with large withered leaves, a long unhealthy stem, with no seed.' (NIKOS KAZANTZAKIS ) ' And now, what will become of us without Barbarians?
These people were some sort of a solution.' (CAVAFY)
